Comment on Recycle for Bradford by sarah morrison

i can not understand why people who are doing community service are not sorting through the household waste recycled what has been unnecessarily tipped! Also why are Bradford not starting a fining scheme we do alot of recycling but have freinds and family members who boast of having two bins and filing them and that they can not be bothered recyling!!! Everyone in society seems so preoccupied with their rights, yet nobody seems to have told them they also have responisiblities to their community!

Tetra Pak is showing great leadership in this area. I wish more milk, juice, water and wine would be sold in environmentally friendly cartons!

Comment on Wind-farm reenergized by recycling by Andy Mcdonald

Hi there-yep, its good to see the big UK energy companies finally getting behind wind and other forms of clean energy. Scotland in particular has enormous wind potential, hopefully more of our companies will begin to capitalise on this new found enthusiasm ie: http://www.hydro.co.uk. Maybe then we can begin to close the gap on the Scandanavians……

Comment on The computer recycling problem by Mike at Pacebutler Recycling

In the US, there’s a non-profit group called FreeGeek that operates like the Brant Freenet organization you mentioned here. They also provide computers to needy individuals and groups in exchange for community service. I have heard about a company in Belgium called Umicore that performs electronic recycling quite efficiently - with less than half of 1% remaining waste that couldn’t be returned to the manufacturing cycle. Thanks for this article.

Comment on Circuit board recycling a reality by M. Gurian

Very interesting as a brief note. Will be interested in the details. The key to sucessful recycling is not only to dis-asemble the pieces but to treat them into recoverable and valuable individual streams in a reasonably economic process. Getting metals distinguished into adequately pure streams of useful individual metals or alloys will be a difficult problem. Looking forward to find the detailed work, if there is ever sufficient disclosure to judge details of the process and end stream analysis. Also the restriction or makeup of the starting circuit products may make considerable difference in the ease and universality of the process.
